The recipe that I propose today is a great accompaniment to different snacks and starters. A artichoke, avocado and spinach dip with a beautiful green color in which you can spread anything from nachos to croquettes. You can serve it together with other basic tomato or mayonnaise sauces and each one can choose!
If you are preparing a snack or dinner with friends, this dip is a fantastic alternative to more traditional preparations such as mayonnaise, guacamole or salsa brava. It is also a very healthy and light made from vegetables and fruits and with the distinctive touch of extra virgin olive oil. Do you dare to try it?
